The Marsilalship.

Ed. Reg,ster-More than a month
has elapsed since the Office of U. s.
Marshsl for the Eastern District of
Missouri became vacant. That vacan-
cy still continues. Justice Miller la
called upon to fill Lit by the appointment
Of q Marshal dd interim. What is the
eepse Of the delay in the appointment?
The President has not been in want OF
applications. For two years he has
had before him the application of Hon.
Jasper Burks, of st. Francois county.
Mr.. Burks is a representative man and
one whose capacity to manage the du-
ties of that office has been vouched for
by many members of both branches of
the Missouri Legislature, as well as by
Q large mum Der of some of the best cit
jzens OF the Eastern District, and his
appointment has also been urged by
the Hon. Martin L. Clardy, the Men,
Der of Congress from the Tenth Dis
trict. It il further alleged that Mr..
Clardy has been aided in his efforts by
both Mr.. Cockrell and Mr.. Vest, the
Senators of Missouri.
The application of the Hon. o. K.
Wheeler has also been before him. Mr..
Wheeler's recommendation were large
In number, and strong by reason of the
respectabi!ity and standing of those
who made them. In addition to Mr..
Wheeler's.. recommendati ons, faithful
and intelligent discharge of the duties
of Deputy Marshal for fourteen years,
together with the knowledge of the du-
ties of the Marshalship which such
length of time about the Office would
give.him, have been urged. Mr.. Wheel
or is also a representative man. The
Hon. Firman A. Rozier, of Ste. Gene
We've, backed by influences second to
either of those mentioned, has also
applied for the office. Mr.. Rozier is
not only we'll and favorably known
throughout the District, but also in the
State at large and in adjoining states.
He ia of one of the oldest and best fami-
lies of the State, and for more than
thirty years had leading position in
the councils of the Democratic party.
and has been Democrat all his life.
The suggestion of his name is guar
anty that whatever he undertakes to
do will be done faithfully aud well.
The Hon. Michael X. McGrath, who
for twelve years has performed the
duties of Secretary of State to the
greatest satisfaction of the people OF
Missouri, has also applied for this po-
sit:on. Mr.. McGrath is one of the best
and most influential men in the State
There are others. no less distinguished
than those mentioned, and whose rec
ommendat lions have been gilt-edged,
who have stood for the place. Either
of the persons who have applied for the
office would make a good Marshal and
be highly acceptable to the people OF
the District.
With all those applications lying be-
fore the President-and they have lain
there for months-he still hesitates.
Why? The fact that he has not acted
IL evidence that he is not satisfied with
neither of the applicants. The Presi-
dent Is said to be man who moves

BUFFALO, N. Y, Dec. 21.-Thomas e.
Nash, general superintendent of the rail-
way mail service, made a short visit to
Buffalo. arriving Monday and going east
Tuesday afternoon. In conversation he
said: "What we want is a law giving
us the power to make up our own train
schedules. We can oblige the roads to
carry the mails, but we cannot make
them run the trains on such time as we
might desire or to run solid, fast mail
trains as the service now demands. We
want to be able to say to the roads that
they must run trains from point to point,
making such stops as we wish, on a time
that is equal fdsstheir fastest passenger
service. When this power is given us
we shall be much better equipped than
we can hope tosbe now. The mails
should be kept moving all the while, and
not be made to wait for whatever railroad
connections suit the railroads tnem-
selves" Mr.. Nash does not favor Il
move toward lowering postage rates at
present.

Nearly ons-Half the Farms of that state
Incumbered.
DETROIT, Mich Dec. 2l.-Labor Com
missioner Heath has ascertained the
last year to what extent the 157, $3.50 farms
IN Michigan are m~ortgaged. His efforts
have bten reasonably successful, consider
ing the fact that the information must
In q large measure be entirely volnn-
tary with the farmers whose lands are
m~ortgagsd. In many cases the taEmer
refused to tell whether or not his farm
was mortgaged. In such cases his farm
has been set down MS not mortgaged.
Making q ratio from the incomplete data,
1t appears that Al per cent. of all the
farms in Michigan belong only in part
to their nominal owners; and it Is esti-
mated that If the real facts were known
1T would be found that nearer 60
per rent. of Michigan farms are in
numbered. OF the so, SOB farms about
which Commissioner Heath has secured
this kind Of information, 43, 079 are ad-
mitted to be mortgaged. The mortgages
reported cover Ii 2-100 Of the entire as
sessed valuation of the real estate of
Michigan and 46 300 per cent. of the
Rssesssd valuation of the estate encum
bered. Farm property Is assessed at
about ene-half OF Its true value. The
figures indicate, therefore. that more
one-third Of the farm, property ia
the state is owned by mortgages.

was that this first thing to be done was to
